Spanish news outlet Marca are reporting that Watford-owned goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon is set to join Aitor Karanka at Nottingham Forest.

The 6ft 8ins glovesman has been on loan at Deportivo La Coruna since September on a season-long deal but it is now thought he has said goodbye to his teammates in Spain.

The Romania international made just seven appearances for Watford as Heurelho Gomes' understudy and made six starts in La Liga.
